thrusting is pretty much jukes and dekes.
getting thrown 40 feet in the air by a mistimed gravity hammer and ground pounding with the ball is so satisfying.
also I noticed sprint + slide with the sword is so OP 
all the new abilities make griffball so fun!
cheers 343!

The only thing I can complain about is the fact that “Grif” doesn’t die from the explosion. The whole game is about hurting Grif in fun and new ways!!
I feel the same way OP. Having all of this capable movement make you feel empowered and like you can actually do more. Huh, who would of thought having more mechanics makes you feel like you are capable of more. If peeps can’t tell I like the movement mechanics.
Yes, the new Spartan abilities are making Grifball so much better than I ever thought it would have been.
